MR-Based Attenuation Correction for Brain PET Using 3-D Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Network

Attenuation correction (AC) is important for the quantitative merits of positron emission tomography (PET). However, attenuation coefficients cannot be derived from magnetic resonance (MR) images directly for PET/MR systems. In this work, we aimed to derive continuous AC maps from Dixon MR images without the requirement of MR and computed tomography (CT) image registration. To achieve this, a 3D generative adversarial network with both...
